(My school cut the budget in weird places. The bells and the intercom broke at the same time, and it was decided that they could only replace one, so they replaced the intercom, and broadcast a recording of church bells over it when it was time to change classes.)
Hee. That's actually quite clever.
At my high school they played music to signal time to change classes. Sometimes kids picked the music, sometimes staff did, and it was kind of fun.
The only problem was that you could only hear the bells if you were somewhere that had an intercom. So you couldn't hear the bell if you were outside, or in the bathroom, or in a crowded hallway.

That's when the herd mentality comes in handy. Er. Except maybe in the bathroom.
I always got all confused with geography because in my high school, they didn't seem to have much of a map budget, so the big maps in the classrooms were replaced one at a time, and not terribly often, so every classroom had maps from different years showing different country names and borders.
I imagine anyone who went to school between 1989-1999 got kind of screwed, mapwise.
From my more conservative Christian days in college, a bunch of us used to use this book called "Operation World" in our prayer meetings that had you pray for every country in the world over the course of a year. (Larger countries got several days.) I have a 1987 edition that I've decided to hang onto just so I can show my hypothetical future children how different the world was when I was growing up.

True, but we had some maps that were up to date as of that year, and then others from the sixties, and others from random years in between. There was also one classroom that had a flag with 48 stars. (They built a whole new library and computer room while I was there. They just had trouble with the smaller things.)

You've obviously never been in the girls' bathroom at a high school, if you think there's no herd mentality in force there.

None that's getting you back to class when the bell, er, plays over the intercom.
Our school was neat and all, but we never had any such things as an intercom, or even lockers. The bell was just lots of little clanger things but they were LOUD!
